Did the west "consult" with Algeria before it decided to change the regime in Libya, only to create a haven for terrorists and export weapons to Mali and now Algeria?

It was all another part of the master plan by Barky to flush the jihadis into the open and blast 'em a good one and the other dead are a bump in the road like the Ambassador and the others, though Barky currently is seeking 'fuller understanding' of what happened in the Algerian siege...

So if America were to be more like the rest of the world? They use pills...

Sadly using a gun for suicide is more productive than pills so Americans choose the more productive way. Using a gun for suicide promotes more jobs. Cleanup crews and such are needed far more than most suicides (in bathtubs)

Maybe we should have an ad program to promote OD'ing as the proscribed "ash" approved method instead of using guns, that could drop the stat's by a long shot...

The airport. Gunman with one hostage, he’s using her for cover, he’s almost to the plane. You’re a hundred feet away.

Jack: …

Harry: Jack?

Jack: Shoot the hostage.

Harry: What?

Jack: Take her out of the equation. Go for the good wound and he can’t get to the plane with her. Clear shot.

Harry: You are deeply nuts, you know that? “Shoot the hostage”… jeez…

Life imitated art in Algeria, according to one Filipino worker who was taken hostage. The Algerian rescue force seemed relatively unconcerned who got hit as long as they took down the Masked Brigade, who depending on what source you believe, started their attack from either Libya or the Niger. “Ruben Andrada, 49, a Filipino civil engineer … described how he and his colleagues were used as human shields by the kidnappers, which did little to deter the Algerian military.”

With detcord wrapped around his neck and caught in the gunbattle between the Masked Brigade and Algerian forces, he regarded his chances of survival as doubtful. Andrada retreated into that classic Filipino attitude: “bahala na”. He thought ‘leave it to God’ as bullets kicked up the ground around him.

“When we left the compound, there was shooting all around,” Andrada said, as Algerian helicopters attacked with guns and missiles. “I closed my eyes. We were going around in the desert. To me, I left it all to fate.”

But when the vehicle carrying Andrada turned turtle in the desert, he gave fate a hand and scrambled from the wreckage to escape. His fellow hostages were not so lucky. All around him were strewn the corpses and body parts of people.

The reason the United States, in particular, is subjected to higher standards than other nations is that as an advanced Western nation, it has adopted a Code of Chivalry, “women and children first”. Less advanced Western societies do not follow this code, as evidenced by the crew of the Costa Concordia.

This situation made a peak in the 1950s and 1960s when the phrase “As American as MOM, apple pie and Chevrolet” was predominant. This happy state of affairs soon was soon under attack by Radical Feminists and their “Pro-Choice” argument against the then prevailing “Pro-Life” ethos of “women and children first”.

Since Roe v. Wade, American women have been engaged in a Civil War, Pro-Life v. Pro-Choice. Pro-Choice is losing demographically, as they have used the following generations as cannon fodder. Just as Europe lost a generation to conscription and World War I, the Radical Feminists have lost a generation to abortion. Just as totalitarian regimes use conscription against America and its All-Volunteer Army, there is the element of evil versus good. But without that succeeding generation, the feminists are fated to go extinct. We are experiencing the death throes of Radical Feminism. Obama was right that there is a War on Women, he just left off the part that it is a civil war of women against women. And the Fifth Estate is full of career women who are Pro-Choice. It is only at Fox News and the Weather Channel that Moms are in the majority.

Keep popping them out Megyn Kelly et al, you are the Arsenal of Western Civilization!

Machias, that’s precisely why the Progressives will do all they can to maintain control of the public education system. They might not have children, but they will co-opt yours.

Encefa @ 61 – I acknowledge your concerns, but would offer these good omens.

1) Women of the “Lost Generation” who were taught that they should put their childbearing on hold while they established their careers are discovering the pitfalls of such a strategy. Holly Finn, author of Baby Chase, An Adventure in Fertility http://preview.tinyurl.com/anf9guc, and others are discovering the hard way they have been sold a bill of goods.

2) Actresses, such as Maggie Gyllenhal are making movies in favor of school choice.

3) Have you talked to many public school teachers lately, they tend to be dumber than Ivy League Liberal Arts majors! Only a very, very few are “Smarter Than a Fifth Grader”.

4) As I mentioned on an earlier thread, today’s young mothers, such as P!nk, are stubborn and have guts! Given a little support by some GUARDIAN ANGELS TO CHILDREN, armed with “terrible, swift swords” from which they can loose a “fateful lightning”, they might actually surprise everyone with what they can do! Rosie the Riveter for a new century.

Rosie neither designed nor manned those Victory Ships my Dad designed, but she did build them.

Isn't if funny rat, those two, our very own b00b and dougshit show, extolling the bravery and heroics exhibited in a fictionalization they found on the net, because, for those two bright bulbs, finding it on the net must mean it is true, especially if there are moving pictures.

South Korean intelligence officials are even casting doubt on Pyongyang's official story line that the 69-year-old Kim died of a heart attack while working aboard a moving train Saturday morning.

South Korea's top spy, Won Sei-hoon, told lawmakers in Seoul that a review of satellite photographs revealed that Kim's train was actually stationary at a Pyongyang station at the time of the ruler's death, as announced by the North, according to media reports.

"There were no signs the train ever moved,"

...

Due to previous assassination attempts, Kim always traveled aboard a bulletproof train that was more like an armored Queen Mary on wheels.

North Korea watchers speculate that the time and place of Kim's death may somehow be sensitive to North Korean officials ...

The lack of critical thinking exhibited by the Boob and Dougshit is painfully obvious as expressed across the vast majority of your two postings. This particular issue just highlights how gullible the two of you are. Heck, if you hear Rush, or Beck, or Coulter, or American thinker say something, by gosh, you guys bubble with knowledge.

tells all over that video. Upon first watch the bullshit meter was twigged:

Gee, full and complete branding of the truck - Nisaan blah blah blahWhy is this the only source of such a remarkable story? It would have been all over the news networks if true.What was the name in the graphics of the News network telling the story?

There is a little critical thinking for you, or for most of us (but not you two) COMMON SENSE.

But the tell to convince even boobie? - It says "fictionalization" right at the beginning of the video - bottom right, small print. You don't think Nissan and their Ad agency would want to be sued do you?

Ash is in the 'splice and dice' business after all. Maybe he put it together. Business has been slow, he said, work hard to find. Or maybe Quirk and Ash collaborated. Both are scoundrels, Quirk coming up in 'marketing', Ash mostly by inheritance, and maybe marriage, certainly not by work.

While Doug and I are honest farmers.

I did by the way notice the splice/dice in there when the pickup was heading out.

Ash, you may be right on this one. The first time in years, I can understand your gloating. A little rain, after such a long dry spell.

Just for the fun of it, what is your opinion of Barky's birth certificate? I recall deuce thinking it was a fraud. Actually am curious, you are the splice/dice go to guy. And how can you refuse to make proclamation on such an important issue?

Thanks, Bob.I really wanted to employ you in that Commercial Opportunity, that I refer to below.These two have blown that out of the water, at least for you, and my chances have been somewhat diminished.

You can't really blame an honest clod-kicker like me from dancing to the Siren Song of Hollywood, can you?

Don't confuse my 'silence' with agreement to anyting you would write. In fact I rarely read most of what you post given that you post just 3 variations of the same thing each time:

1. You set up a straw man argument, knock it down, and then strut about as if you've made a great intellectual victory

2. You state 'facts' as settled, obvious, and accepted by those in the know and only disputed by stupid leftards.

3. You quote from your hereos, the mensas (you share at least something with DRR) of the BC.

and you usually conclude with "moron".

you moron!

On top of the drivel you post, which often, as trish said "screws you into the ceiling" I do have a life outside of this blog and I don't plan on wasting much of it figuring out your unique brand of logic, your demented world view.

and now I return you all to the "b00b and dougshit show" aka morons on parade.

Ah, the wife just came in as I was trying to go to sleep, and something she just said reminded me of what I was trying to dig up about our lovable critical thinking Ash.

You recall how he was always saying how firm all that global warming science was, how it had to be true, it was peer reviewed and all? And someone (me) suggested the peers might be in cahoots. Now, I submit, there is an issue of some importance, not a video about a plane, and Ash insisted till the very end it was all peer reviewed and it had to be true.

Well, we all get the wool pulled over once in while. It's just that, like, global warming, hey that's important!

That the mercenaries Colonel Q used to rule Libya went home?That the NATO forces did not destroy them, root and branch, in Libya?

Or that the US did not allow Colonel Q to provide basng rights to the Russians for another warm water port on the Med?

If the French care about the leadership of Mali, they'll deal with it.That Mali is inconsequental to the US, more than obvious.

That the US military provided trainiiing to foreign officers that later led a coup or went rouge, par for course. We've been doing that since President Diem was deposed, in Vietnam. The coup that empowered the Shah, another example. More recently Los Zetas in Mexico were special forces troops, trained at Fort Benning before they went Independent.

The complaint is simple, that Obama is starting out in much the same way he started in Libya and that eventually there is the possibility that he will get us into the same type of clusterfuck as Libya. This time we are not waiting until he has time to implement the 'Obama Doctrine'.

.

Obama took us to war for 'humanitarian' reasons, a phony and cynical appeal. In Mali, the initial particiapation was to aid an ally.

You are not allowed in my bunker. But if you are an Elk you are still allowed on the farm. And I will point you out to my pet wolves.

And I do think a pickup truck could take the weight of a plane like that in the initial stages of landing, because, it really doesn't have much weight, the nose being up and all, and flying. Sitting on the ground, different.

Magnificent Ronald and the Founding Fathers of al Qaeda

“These gentlemen are the moral equivalents of America’s founding fathers.” — Ronald Reagan while introducing the Mujahideen leaders to media on the White house lawns (1985). During Reagan’s 8 years in power, the CIA secretly sent billions of dollars of military aid to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in a US-supported jihad against the Soviet Union. We repeated the insanity with ISIS against Syria.
